Knowing that to ilm, without any wonderful anti fat, what are the
carotid Kier determined is that the night is for a specific period
and the day is for a specific period. And this of course differs
depending upon where we live on the face of this earth diverse
upon the time of the year it depends upon which hemisphere in
which we are. But the night is set in the day is set in a way that
Allah subhanaw taala has determined and the sun cannot
overtake the moon. And nor can the night outrun the day. Each is in
its own orbit. In other words, is that Allah subhanaw taala has
decreed that how that we're going to experience nighttime, and how
we're going to experience the daytime. And nothing happens
before its appointed time, and the way that loss of Hunter has
decreed for it to be. In other words, one of the ways that we
should look at everything that is in creation is that it is most
Sahara. Everything in creation is in submission to a lot of unequip
data. And it is subject he has subjugated what is in creation to
the human being. It is all here ultimately, for us. And it's for
us to benefit from but it's also here for us to reflect upon in all
of these different meanings. And so this is a very positive and
beautiful way of approaching creation. And that we see
everything around us is not only blessings, but also signs of Allah
subhanaw taala. And then our job is in relation to what has been
subjugated to us by the decree of a lot of other Katana is to use it
and for the benefit of people into represent Allah subhanaw taala is
real here on Earth. And what I mean by that is, is fulfilling our
Khilafah or vice gerontological adequate data by that upholding
the me Zahn the scale, the sacred balance and upholding the sunnah
of our Prophet so center and his sacred law so that everything can
happen as it's supposed to happen. And in the process of doing this
is that we will bring the greatest benefit not only for ourselves,
but those that are around us. And when we understand what this is
it, we understand is that each of that both the night and the day
has meanings that are associated with it, some of which we touched
upon yesterday, but a lot to other says about their falak their orbit
will could ruin fi Falcon, your Sperone and so in reference to the
sun, and the moon, and actually all of the other planets and even
the stars, they all have their own orbit.
In the word that Allah under uses is yes, but home.
And it's the same word that we use for swimming. So Saba ha, yes,
Bessho Subhan was sebahagian. Two different verbal nouns means to
swim.
And act of swimming, if you really think about it, is that what does
it mean? It means that the human being that is in full, for
instance, where they not to be able to float, we wouldn't imagine
swimming as experienced as it actually is. It's precisely
because we are floating in the water, and then we move our arms
just a little bit, and that we can actually experience that being in
water in the way that we do. And so that when we think about that
in orbit, this is in a sense, that what is happening to the planets
into the earth into the sun, and even that our moon, this is in a
sense, what seems to be happening. It says if that these planets are
in water, that swimming, orbiting that in such a perfect way. And
even though we know that there are elliptical orbits of the planets,
however, it's perfect insofar as Allah has made it just as it is.
And that that's amazing. The precision on how the planets are
orbiting, how are that Earth in that sun, and everything that
hasn't orbit does orbit. And this Arabic word can also be used for
a horse. You say that Saba had fought us, and it's when a horse
reaches a gallop. And our Prophet is known to have said about a
horse. And I believe it was the horse that when they heard a very
loud sound out on the outskirts of Medina, the prophet hopped on a
horse Salallahu Sydenham and went out and before the Companions cut
out to get out to see what it would it was as if he was already
coming back. And he said don't worry. And this is the mentioned
the story
From the courage of the prophesy centum most people wouldn't go out
to a large sound by himself. But he went out immediately civilized
sentence, and that he ended up himself was like an entire army in
terms of his courage and in terms of what he was able to do so on
the fly, they were either said we sent him when he was returning, as
that he was commenting on the horse that he rode, is it indeed
that it is sub, right that it it gallops very well, it's a very
quick horse. And so that when you see a horse in full gallop, that
beautiful motion, that is that so fluid, that's is one of the ways
that this word is used, just as it's also used, as we mentioned,
for an orbit. And it can also be used in relation to the various
things that we do during the day. So Allah Allah says,
in the NASA lady, I shall do what an Auckland will pillar, and that
is specifically in relation to the province I said, but by extension,
for others, that the night prayer makes a deeper impression and
sharpens words in the lack of a naughty Subhan Allah subhanho wa
Taala that you are kept busy for long periods of the day, that you
are doing many things to take care of your livelihood throughout the
day. So that motion of taking care of your things during the day is a
lot data that speaks of it as Subhan taweelah.
What code is going to become what Tibet till you elated de la. So in
other words, is that understanding that there's things that we do
during the day, and then there's things that we do, and the night
the night is a shudder, what an aqua Maquila and then Allah Tada
commands. So, remember that glorify the Name of your Lord, and
devote yourself wholeheartedly to him. Subhan Allah data. And so the
night is when things are a little bit more still. And the idea of
Saba, here's an idea of movement. And it goes along with the
preoccupations of the daytime. And so these are different usages of
the word Saba, but here is that the orbits are that moving around.
And as the planets are moving around in orbit, the sun is moving
into orbit, the moon is moving in its orbit. And it is fluid, like
someone who is in that a swimming pool, and is swimming. And they
are that moving their arms and in a very fluid way, floating and
moving about in the water.
What could learn for you further Kenya's per home, each floats in
its own orbit. And you can see how you could really expand upon these
meanings. Think about you could really go into an in depth
knowledge which that pre modern astronomers knew a lot about the
stars, they knew a lot about orbits. But now with all of the
scientific breakthroughs, there's much more that we know about what
is happening. And when we teach our children when we read books of
science with them, we should do them from the perspective of
inculcating in them that a deep sense of belief and a lot of data
in pointing out to them how that what it is that they're
witnessing, from the phenomenal world indicates the names and
attributes of a lot of adequate data. And so this is very, very
important. And there is a whole learning methodology. The sister
actually did
a TED talk, I think it was held in Jordan. And she developed a whole
learning methodology based upon two factor, which indeed, this is
something that is something that you could definitely do. And the
benefits of it are immense. Because the problem is, is that we
don't spend a lot of time reflecting, and reflection and the
power that we have to reflect. It's like any other thing of our
body, it's like a muscle, the more that you use it, the stronger it's
going to get. It's like your memory, the more that you use it,
the stronger it's going to get our cooler to difficult, it's actually
that a faculty within us, the more that you use it, the stronger it
gets. And then what took you that five or 10 minutes before
eventually takes you a minute or two, and then you start to pick up
on things a lot quicker, and then is that you become a very quick
processor of reflection. And then there's no really extent to which
that you can't, there's no limit to which that you can have a power
of your power reflection can be unlocked. To that a very, very
powerful degree. And then you can apply it to everything that it is
that you do in life everything is what you experience in life. And
even you have drives for instance, in your that on the car for two to
three hours. That what you experience in those drives. And as
you look at what's around you is different
And then if you don't have that power to reflect, it's one of the
great ways if you want to phrase it in a different way is that you
can bring meaning into your life. Because it's an understanding the
hidden meanings behind things is that we ourselves that live
meaning that in our own selves, so we'll coulomb FIFA looking the
Sperone
and then Allah to Allah says in verse number 41, get to know whom
another sign for them. And Harmon, the year to whom pitiful can wash
whole is that we carried their seed in the laden Ark, I turn the
home. So again, that Allah Tada is mentioned to us a number of
different signs. And the last one was referring to the orbits of the
the sun and the moon, and the planets, and that everything that
even came before that in relation to the night in the day. And now
there's yet another sign is that we think about ships, sailing the
seas, and specifically is that they say is that this L Falken.
machine that is mentioned in verse four, one that laid in arc, most
of the commentators say this reverse to that Noah's Ark. And
this is specifically in reference to this great event that took
place, and that it's another sign, but not just in what happened in
relation to the Prophet Noah, but also in the actual ship itself, in
the way that the ships float on the sea. And that the way that
there's just the proper amount of balance, such that they don't
sink, and there's a way to make them. So you have that VNC and to
allow them to stay afloat, and how that you can have people on them.
And this is what Allah Allah says, But volken Michonne, that a and
Nan Lu, then it's filled, it's laden with goods and everything
that is that you need, in addition to that, the RIA which he
translates here as seed, and the the idea that there's difference
of opinion, but what that means amongst the Illuma, but in
general, it's the the offspring that's in their loins of the
people that are that on that ship.
Well, I don't know and hammer nails or you don't feel full
commission, and the sign for them is that we carried their seed in
the Leighton Ark, this again indicates his podra subhanho data
in the way that he is subjugated to us that not only what is on
land, but also what is that see. And we see a mentioning of both
land and both see that in the Quran. That land is a bar and
that's the sea is the bar. And Allah to Allah says in surah
glucomannan, Allah Tala entered full cottage refill bar, that have
you not seen how the ships set sail on the ocean, beneath me Tila
through the blessing of Allah to Allah, Leo Yokomen at so that he
may show you from among his so he may show you his signs in the
phonetic, Latin, indeed, that these are signs liquidus, about in
Schuco for every extremely patient and extremely thankful person.
And then they get into a little bit more detail about why I looked
at it actually mentioned this already. Yeah. Why did he
mentioned the RE as opposed to just people and that he they
specifically mentioned that, normally we think that there would
only be male sailors. But it wasn't just the men that were
aboard the ship that was also that all of the pairs, including both
male and female, and then the children that were present, and
then those that were in the loins, indicating that this is a special
blessing of electromedical data and a special sign.
And then that we can think of all of the other meanings, that of
what Allah to Allah has created for us in relation to that the
sea, and the blessings of the sea. And the metaphors that come from
that. And one of the greatest metaphors of all of that Noah's
Ark is the blessing family of our profits on the line a Why do you
serve your son is that there is a Hadith of the Rasul Salah Salem
that says that, indeed that my family might help bait or like
Noah's Ark, men rocky Behat ninja woman to Khalifa and her and
there's definitely Why add her up, because it whoever boarded the
ship was saved, and whoever that refrained from doing so drowned
and so is that the prophets family satellite cinemas household and
the great Imams from his progeny that come through Satan Hasson and
Satan Hussein from the busted wedding of that the Satan faulty
Hello and send out even have a thought about which the Prophet
said on the night that they first were married alum, a heritage
minimum al cathedra type of Allah bring forth many good souls from
their loins. And there's no doubt that the prophets was going to be
accepted as what we see generation after generation Gen after
generation, great Imams, and that intensity, pious and spiritual
people from elevated Azula. That a good percentage of the great
spiritual masters that we find throughout the centuries, that
were from the family of the Prophet sallallahu sallam, and
that what some of the scholars say about this is is that, that Allah
to Allah has distributed his blessings accordingly amongst his
creation. And that, even though we know the most important thing is
taqwa that still, there's a special station that the FET
prophets family has on the Life Center. And one of the great gifts
that they have to that offer the Ummah is the gift of their
spiritual state, and their spiritual progress. And that for
this reason, is that many of those great guides that were there from
the earliest period, we're from the family of the prophets, I send
them in many of the paths that developed after that, that were
affiliated with them. And so that you can have the blessings of
Allah Tada apportioned is a lot to add to that single doubt that all
people with something.
And yes, you have scholars from a helpmate. But there's a
disproportionate amount of scholars that are from Arabic to
those that are not from Advait. If you look at, for instance, the
greatest of the MUFA sitting and then the greatest of the scholars
of Hadith, that there's only a few that were from the family of the
prophesy center, or some of the greatest scholars that you can
think of that there weren't too many that were from a helpmate.
But when you talk about those that established spiritual paths, so
they're known for their piety, is that they're the numbers,
different disproportion different way is that they're actually the
majority, and everything was put in its proper place. wisdom
dictates that you and I know where to get what, from whom, and when,
and how. That's what we need. We need to have wisdom, so that we
benefit from everyone in anything and any time in place, is that we
want to be people who are like the be, we want to be people who
benefit from everything. And that who that only choose the choice
part of everything. And especially as we move closer and closer to
the end of time, when there is so much that makes people despair.
There's so much negativity and pessimism out there is that now
especially as a time to be like that V is that we stick remain
optimistic, and we focus on what is good. And what the V does is he
chooses from the choice foliage on earth, from the buds and from the
flowers and takes the pollen, and then synthesizes it within
himself. Or herself. Actually, the vast majority who actually get the
honey are the female bees. And then they emanate honey, which is
a Shiva. And this is the way that our prophets I said it was
teaching us how to be in the context of the Hadith, that,
indeed the likeness of that. The believer is the likeness of a bee.
And that then the promo Sam said, that echo led by event followed up
by Eva, he ate from the pure and wholesome things, there's me, and
then the emanated, what was pure and wholesome. And then the
amazing thing is, is what he said after that, look, at phelim tech,
Sir William to sit is that look at the details of that is that when
that be landed on the pedal on the blossom, or whatever it is, it
didn't ruin the flower or the butter, whatever. Nora didn't even
break a pedal. It didn't break anything either. In that the
context of this hadith, and one of the narrations, it's in the
context of the signs of the end of time. And the narration of Imam
Ahmed, and that and this narration is that there are a number of
signs that have enough time that are mentioned before it is in the
venue de sa, that things like flush and too harsh and sudo, Su
Su LGR and a number of other signs that are mentioned that there is
indecency and people that going out of their way to be in decent
people being bad neighbors, and then that there is a mention of
this metaphor of the bee, the similitude of the bee. And so that
this is how we should be in all times is trying to get benefit
from everything. So then Allah Allah says in verse number 42,
will Holika Ananda home ministry now your Qaboun So verse 41 states
another sign for them is that we carry their seat and
The lead in arc, and we have made similar things for them to write
in. I'm sorry, I got distracted, I forgot to finish my thought on the
family of the prophets on Life Center. Is that
the the metaphor, the film, the process is like a hill bait. bait
is that of Noah's Ark. And what does it mean as a promise? That
meant Akiba? Whoever rides the Ark of activate? What does that mean?
That means first and foremost, to love them, and to have a heart
attachment to them. You love elevators, Sula. Why? Because they
are the offspring of the resource on the liner service. And you love
them for that. And that you also that serve them,
but you also follow them. And what this means is the great son Imams
from an elevated Rasulillah combined to that our knowledge and
to present the deen in a balanced fashion. Is that in all times, is
that there will be a way out that is articulated on their tongues.
Why? Because is that they offer
the most relevant interpretation of the Quran. And anytime.
As I said, the idea was asked, is there anything that the Prophet
singled you out with that he did not give to other people? And say
no, he gave a very humble response. And he said, the Prophet
didn't single us out within thing except that one of us was given an
increased understanding of the Quran. And really what is greater
than that, than having an increased understanding of the
Quran. If you look at the two greatest commentators of the
Quran, who are they say not even have been taught in sin, Ibn
Abbas, they've been ambassadors learn much of his tafsir from that
sin and even me taught him but also that he received the dua of
the prophesy centum Allah Felker, who didn't do well i Limbo that
we're Allahu Akbar, we ever do I like that, then it's, there's,
there's no wonder why that you produce agile and wonders of
tafseer that allah grant you understanding of the deen in the
largest sense, not just in terms of fit, fit in the Dean fucka, who
fit Dean given understanding of the religion, which is something
that we're really missing. We're missing the individual aspect of
the rulings and their application, of course, but also we're missing
as well. Understanding of the deen.
And this is what the true people of Allah do, is that the bearers
of the deen they take on the deen. And what is meant by that is that
they embrace the meanings of Revelation.
And that it's never decontextualized for them because
they're living in their time. And they're responding to that
everything that has happened in their time. But that's essentially
what they do is that they take the meanings of Revelation is that
they absorb them in their hearts, and that through that their own
abilities, but also their own abilities, relying completely upon
the help of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada. They do their very best to that
teach the meaning of that Deen in their particular context.
And to clarify people, truth from falsehood, clarify to people right
from wrong, and what is the way that we should be doing things in
our particular time, this is fifth in the D, that fit in the deen is
not simply going to come from a book, let alone a pamphlet. There
are some people that want to get their understanding of the very
nuanced world in which we live from a pamphlet, it doesn't work
like that. It's not enough to attend just a class once a month,
or every so often, or to hear a lecture on YouTube. This is not
the way that it works is that the true receptacles of knowledge are
all people who sat before great men and women of this religion,
there is no substitute for that. I was just looking at a picture. I
think yesterday in fact, and it was a picture of one of the great
shoe who's passed away fairly recently. And some of the older
few who were probably younger than this teacher by maybe 20 years, 15
years.
And how, despite there's not really that big of an age
difference, especially given the shape and the picture was probably
in his 90s, maybe late 80s. So they still were older, they were
still probably in their mid 70s or something like that. And just the
way they were sitting before him and how they were learning from
him. The picture was just so telling us they say a picture
speaks 1000 words because of that. That is the meaning they realize
is that that in order for me really to truly have Dean. It
comes via great people.
And someone might say okay, well you
just left me out to hang because I hear that and I want that. But I'm
living in some far off place, either in some, that state where
we don't have access to those people in the United States or
someone's falling online in some other places in the world, that
this affair is a fair offset. This is a fair of truthfulness every
time that we've asked our teachers about distance, and being distant
from your teachers. And even though you have to have a time
where this companionship ideally, even if it be short, is that if
someone is sincere distance will not harm.
And so it is sufficient for us to have these meetings rise to the
heart, even if we don't have interactions every day, that the
way that we would like to with them. And so this is something
unfortunately, that is that not widespread in our community, the
importance of Advait and their metaphor beings that have Safina
to know. And just as those were the people that are not about to
go into saved, likewise is that there is salvation in loving and
serving in following an elevator Rasulullah, Salah liason, there's
a lot of details that go with that. And there's a lot of
questions that people have in that conversation, but that will have
to be dealt with at another time. Nevertheless, the principle
remains the importance of debates. And then Allah Allah says in verse
42, will Holika Allah home in ministry, He know your kaboom. And
we have made similar things for them to write in. So men myth Li,
what is it referring to that hat attached pronoun, have said
similar things. And we have made similar things for them to writing
what is the similar things referring to and the scholars have
a difference of opinion that some say
they are referring to other types of transportation. And so for
instance, is that the camel is considered to be the Safina to
butter, the ship of the desert. Okay, or Safina to Sahara. However
it is that you want to say it that this is one of the names that the
Arab gave the camel is that it was the ship of the desert. And,
again, if you've ever seen a camel in full motion, or even written
one, they're very beautiful creatures. And they're perfectly
suited for the desert, not only in terms of that how little water
they need, and the way that they process food, but also in terms of
their hooves. If you've ever tried to walk in sand, it's not an easy
thing to do, especially over a long period of time, that you it
takes a lot of extra energy to walk in sand. But the way that
this camel paws are, is that they're just enough so that they
expand in a way that allows them to that literally like flow over
that sand as if they're swimming. And this is why that they liken
them to a ship is because of the way that they that move about over
the sand. And this is the interpretation of that image
ambassador who we just mentioned, this verse, he says, yeah, and he
had, this refers to camels for the benefit of Baraka softened
feedback, he says, so that what the ships are to the sea, the
camels are to land.
And so these are is an example of similar things. Email Murase says
is that if you look at that attached pronoun that it refers
back to the ships, or the ship in the previous verse, that was that
was mentioned, when Allah to Allah said, Well, I don't know how many
laureato the result Phil Falk. So how can I know min method, even
Mithi. That what the likes of that ship, that Allah to Allah, that is
referring to that no umaid And incidentally, say that Noah was
the first ship maker, and Allah had inspired him with the
knowledge of ship making, he says is that in other words, is that
there are those that came later they made ships like Noah that
were then used for, that humans beings needs. And then some get
into a little bit more detailed, some say is it just as there were
ships for that seas, then there were vessels that were made for
rivers and so forth, still float and whereby which is that human
beings needs can be that taken care of
now,
and then that some even modern scholars say is that there is an
indication in this verse from the way that it stated is that it
could refer to all modern means of transportation in Allah Subhan
Allah knows best. Incidentally, I think it's important to note here,
there are a lot of Muslims that really are enamored by what is
known as Jasmine ennemi. The scientific miracles of
The Quran, and that I think it is important to note that the Quran
primarily is not a book of science, nor is it a book of
history. And it does contain history. And it does contain that
which could be considered to be scientific. But there's a
difference between seen as such. I think a lot of people that want to
that make the number one reason that we should believe in the
Quran is because there are scientific miracles, maybe not a
lot of people, there's a tendency in the modern world to do that,
and actually dealt with a situation where there was someone
struggling with their faith, because this is what was their
parents told them is that this is the proof of the Quran, and if you
don't believe in that, and she was a biology student who was
struggling to understand how that related to a particular verse in
the Quran, anyhow, is that it caused her trouble. And I, when I
dealt with her, I just said, Well, you know, for me, that's not what
my faith on the Quran is built in for sure, right. And I believe in
the Prophet Muhammad Salah license, and the Quran, if you
believe in it, and you learn it, and you put it into practice, and
you see the fruit of it in your life. And you see the
transformative power, and that what it was able to do, and the
civilizations and everything else that it built, that throughout
history, these and a long list of other things in addition to the
linguistic miracle of the Quran, which was always the emphasis,
traditionally speaking, are the proofs of the book of Allah,
terracotta, Allah, and all of that, and just the way that the
Quran is, human beings don't talk like that you can get that I
remember thinking that when I first converted, just reading now
don't lose of it translation, the first time doing my first
Ramadan, in the MCA Masjid in Santa Clara, California, I was
still struggling to learn Arabic, so I didn't know how to have the
Abdullah use of it. Translation. And that it's like human beings
don't speak like that. They that's not how we speak. And then to
think all of that, and everything that it contains, was from that an
unedited man, sunlight He sent him in the middle of a geographically
in the minds of people in significant place. Cave, that's
impossible. Suppose that it is impossible, it clearly is a sign
that he is a prophet of God. So the lady said him, and you
combined all of the details of the deen which are all ultimately
stemming from the book of Allah subhanho. That's what we build our
face of the Quran in, and then a consistent steady day in and day
out, that it will continue to grow and continue to grow. And it's not
that there's not potentially some scientific miracles in the Quran.
There probably is. But the problem is only insane definitively that
this verse indicates this scientific miracle. Because then
the problem is, is what happens if science changes. You've said
definitively this verse means that that's a problem. And that gets
into a whole problem interpretation of the danger of
saying that the Quran actually means something. Because when you
say that, you're saying that's the Murad of Allah.
That was what Allah intended by that verse. And so you're getting
it's opening up a door of danger there. Nevertheless, there's some
very interesting things that are that are really there. And we can
mention them, but we have to do so with the proper adult. And we
don't do it with cutter. We don't do it definitively saying that
this is 100% what it means and so that Allah Allah says in another
verse, that relates to this verse, in Surah, 10 Nahan, while hayleigh
While we have Allah will her Mira li Tada, Boo ha. So horses and
mules, and
that donkeys that in order for you to ride them was Xena. And as an
adornment, well, yeah, well, loco Mala tighten the moon, and he
creates that which you do not know. And so that what that doctor
was the Haiti and Tafseer. Munoz says is that the lumea IE, in
verse 42, of swords Yeah, seeing men Mithila he that he says that
in your own abdomen, either man or woman Venomoth quarter zero is
that it could go back to that, that something that is known, that
was not mentioned. And he says if that it was said, that mean
missing the MonteCarlo nomina mahalo hot from that which we have
mentioned from things that have been created. And he says that
according to this interpretation, we could extend it to all of the
wassall in noccalula, DISA, all of the modern that forms of
transportation, from cars and trains and planes, and so forth
and so on. In anyhow, that all of these things are a blessing of
Allah to Allah and all of his a sign that Allah to Allah clearly
As subjugated these things to us that for our use here in the
earth, but what is important is, is that what is the adult that we
use that we have at a heart level when that we approach that all of
these things? This is what is key, and what are we using them for.
Unfortunately, as we had mentioned yesterday, much of modern applied
technology is used to distance people from a lot of medical data,
that it's not used in the right way. And this is why we have to
that from the standpoint of usage from other standpoints. It's not a
that sword that has two sides, but from the standpoint of usage, it
can be used for good or could be used for bad that there's a power
relationship when it comes to technology. That is that really
important. And it's one of the ways that
that people are subdued, that internationally is through the
power of technology. And this is why certain countries in the race
for power that invest so many billions of dollars in it, because
of the implications of having certain types of technology as it
relates to power anyhow, then in verse 43, will in the shot no hook
home for less than a koala home? What
does Jalali verses in the Quran, there's majestic verses in the
Quran. And we have to get ourselves used to that a discourse
of beauty and a discourse of majesty It is imperative because
life is not only beauty, life is hard.
And if we only are expecting things to be beautiful, and we're
not training ourselves to have a bit of vigor, is it we're going to
struggle in life, or we're going to struggle in Dean. That Dean is
easy outwardly Yes, in terms of how we apply the Shediac. But
inwardly the Dean has heart in it's supposed to be hard. Because
struggling with your knifes is hard. That avoiding sin is hard.
Doing what is right is hard. Serving people is hard. Being
patient with people is hard, doing everything that we know that we
need to do in our deen staying up late at night, helping other
people all of these things studying that we will attain any
of that until we go against our lower desires and struggle and
strive and shed a lot of blood, sweat and tears,
then we'll attain something of that of what can be attained. And
so that Allah is saying here is that if we wished we could drown
them. One of the most important meanings here is yes, that he just
mentioned that ships were a blessing. And it's a sign of a lot
of water Kota Allah. But what he's saying now is if we wished we
could drown them, ie do not rely upon anything of the means. Even
if you are in that ship, that is a blessing, it's taking you from
point A to point B, Allah could cause them to drown him, Allah
could sink that ship if he wanted to Subhanallah Donna fella said
hello home, and there would be no one to help them. So don't think
IE you who are involved in any building of anything, if we extend
the meaning
to any type of technology to any type of thing that's being built
for that people's benefit, that you are the one actually doing
anything. And don't think that it is going to be a means to actually
save you just by the fact that you have that particular thing or that
piece of technology, what that whole unit Badoom nor could they
be saved, there'd be no one to help them nor they could be saved.
And that is a very deep meaning that is teaching us to rely solely
upon him. Subhan who went on it is that we realize is that our life
and every single moment are in the hands is in the hands of Allah
subhanaw taala that it's only because he allows us to live we
live and that
we should be aware that in every moment is that we want to rely
solely upon him subhanho wa Tada. And then it Allah Nitin Mina,
Wilma, tiny Rahim, only via merci could they be reprieved to enjoy
life for a while? Well, Matan.
In other words, in any moment, we could all go in any moment that if
we were using if we were on a ship or any other type of mode of
transportation, is that a lot to adequate take that from us. If
we're on a ship, we could be drowned. Or if we are that using
anything else, it could break down. We could get in a car
accident, the plane could crash, whatever it is, the train could
crash, then there will be no one to help them. If Allah decreed it.
It's going to happen. They could not be saved, nor would anyone
that save them, indicating to us is that we need to turn to our
Lord Subhan
I know what data and realize is everything comes from his mercy in
Allah. Allah admitted min
so in other words is that in Ramadan Mina, in other words, it's
only because of His mercy
in every single moment, it's not that you're there and then you
just receive Allah's Mercy No, in every single, every single moment,
it's only because of His mercy
is that you were sailing in that ship or by extension, that able to
use any other mode of transportation in every minute
that is good passes rather every moment that passes, you are
experiencing His mercy directly Ihlara Hamilton Mina, Wilma Tanita
Hain is for you to enjoy for a little while. But that is anything
that has benefited from could we stay in touch.
And that we know is that it's all going to go every pleasure of the
dunya. And the next moment is gone. And the next moment it's
gone in I mean, it's only going to be here for a small amount of time
and a point in time. And so that when we're aware of this is that
we will have a very different perspective of how we enter into
the means. We mentioned to the means relying upon Allah Jalla
gelato, being fully aware. And it is only from his mercy is that we
are able to do whatever it is that we are doing. And then if we do
that, ie have trust in Allah realize that this is from his
mercy.
These are the two internal prerequisites for us to actually
benefit from whatever it is that we are using. And then there are
other things outwardly that relate to the sacred law, but these two
internal traits that open up the door for us to benefit from what a
lot of adequate data has subjugated to us. So inshallah
Tada I think that we will stop there were a lot of other quick
data, and open up our hearts to these meanings and that may Allah
subhanaw taala bless us always to be aware of his mercy and his
encompassing mercy. May our hearts always been in a state of trust in
Him subhanaw taala trusting to attain everything that is that
we're seeking to attain, trusting in Him to maintain what it is that
we've already attained, trust in Him Subhanallah to add to that
alleviate any harm that we've been afflicted with, and trusting in
Him subhanaw taala to ward off any harm that has yet to be false. And
then I tried to give relief to us into the ummah of Satan and
Mohamed salah. I'll just be sending these messages in Ramadan.
We ask Allah for footage, we asked him for Rama. We asked him for an
answer for say almost no Mohammed or Salah liners in Ramadan right
early Mousavi Salam would handle
